Great force pirates
raided coast towns, year after year, decade after decade. Terror in
France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. As far as Britain, Ireland in the
1800s. Now Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and Iceland. All across the North
African Atlantic.
But currents were
shifting to some unpromoted American paradise.
Consider the
victims killed and surrendered. A brutal menace and sporadic crime.
Ragged political division from Mediterranean misfits. Powers traded.
Scourged on choppy waters. Trading in Holy Human Bondage. Paying
tribute, but never debts. Fugitive and furtive. Chastised but
unpunished.
Recent attention
has been drawn to two new forces: Straight death and Twisted videos.
The soul of American Evangelicals wrestled into submission. Forced
downside into conditional rejection. Their soul sold for a pittance.
Traded for unexceptional power. Drinking from putrid puddles.
American commerce.
The plan failed.
Hypocrisy crept back in. Barbarity increased.
Refuse
conditionalism. Forever forced. Burning. Forever burning. Incense and
refuse.
What more do you
want me to tell you? Rarely has one voice spoken thus. Welcome to the
last word. Language is too poor for power – Killing joy and
exaltations. Who would receive it?
